2017 APRU Global Health Program Conference

Register now for the 2017 APRU Global Health Program Conference, hosted by University of The Philippines October 16-19, 2017, in Manila.

Of the 23 submissions from nine countries around the world, judges have voted three as finalists for the 2017 APRU Global Health Case Competition.

APRU was established in 1997 by the presidents of California Institute of Technology (Thomas Everhart), University of California, Berkeley (Chang-Lin Tien), University of California, Los Angeles (Charles Young) and University of Southern California (Steven B. Sample).
Seeing the rapid economic integration of the region and the formation of APEC, the founding presidents' vision was to establish a premier alliance of research universities as an advisory body to international organisations, governments and business on the development of science and innovation as well as on the broader development of higher education. The vision now encompasses focusing new knowledge on the global challenges affecting the region.
